Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَقْتَسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمُؤْنَةِ عَامِلِي فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

Translation

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘My heirs will not divide even a dinar. Whatever I leave after the maintenance of my wives and the expenses of my worker is charity.’ [Agreed upon]
